COMPASS-EZ™

A Self-assessment Tool for Behavioral Health Programs

COMPASS-EZ™ is designed to help individual programs organize a baseline self-assessment of recovery-oriented complexity (co-occurring) capability as the first step in a continuous quality improvement process in which the program designs an action plan to make progress. COMPASS-EZ™ is designed to help programs have a consistent method for measuring progress and continue the learning and change process by repeating the self-assessment at regular intervals. Most broadly, COMPASS-EZ™ is designed to be used globally by systems in transformation. All programs in the system can work in partnership, with each program using a shared process to make progress toward the collective vision of recovery-oriented complexity (co-occurring) capability across the whole system.

COMPASS-EZ™ is organized by sections that address aspects of a complexity (co-occurring) capable program’s design:

Understand the program baseline of recovery-oriented complexity (co-occurring) capability so that there is an organized and rational foundation for a change process toward this vision.
